About the NAVHDA Utility and Utility Preparatory Tests

The purpose of the Utility Test is to test the hunting dog's usefulness to the on-foot hunter in all phases of hunting both before and after the shot, in field and marsh, and on different species of game.

The Utility Preparatory Test is performed between the Naturalability Test and the Utility Test.  It is intended to help the hunter/trainer measure progress of his hunting companion on the route to being a complete hunting dog.  All parts are intended to measure progress toward qualification in the NAVHDA Utility Test.
